[Verse 1]
   Dm
It began
       C             Am
With a whisper in my ear:
               Bb
"I think it's time."
      Dm         C                    Bb
Suddenly all we held dear was on the line.
        C                 Am                 Bb      Dm C
As your heart measured in mountains fell and climbed.
       Bb
You're okay, you're okay, you're okay, you're okay.
F Dm
Amen.


[Verse 2]
Bb
We were changed in an instant.
    C
We became so much more.
       F                                           Dm
Our definition of perfect was written when she was born.


[Verse 3]
Dm            Bb                 F
She drew her first breath out of what love meant.
       Bb                        C                  Dm
In my heart, reconciled all the darkness and light inside my chest.
       Bb
As her hands held tight.
        F        C                Dm               C
And her eyes met mine, I saw the future unfold in silver and gold.
      Bb          C
And I'm already proud.


[Verse 4]
Dm                   C
Beautiful like your mother,
Dm                       C
You are grace, you are light.
Dm                        C
The better version of our past.
                   F   Dm  Bb
From the start of life.


[Verse 5]
Bb
We will learn from each other.
  C
As you grow up, we will too.
             F
And our reflections of one another.
C
We will start something new.
Bb
We were changed in an instant.
C
We became so much more.
    F
Our definition of perfect was written when you were born.


[Verse 6]
Dm                   C
There is so much to tell you.
Bb                   F
There is so much to see.
Dm                   C           Bb              F
We will show you the oceans, and everything in between.
Dm                   C
What a privilege to love you,
Bb                       F
To teach you all that we know.
Dm                   C                    Bb                     F
To watch you build a collection of dreams that you can call your own.

[Verse 7]
Bb
Beautiful like your mother,
C
You are grace, you are light, oh
F
The better version of our past.
C
From the start of life.

[Outro]
Bb
We were changed in an instant.
C
We became so much more.
    F
Our definition of perfect was written when you were born.
